At Greater Baltimore Medical Center (GBMC), medical residents have the opportunity to acquire hands-on experience in a friendly, supportive and collegial atmosphere at a community hospital with an academic feel. GBMC's fully accredited Internal Medicine Residency Program emphasizes a team-driven, patient-oriented approach to medical problem solving with the organization's vision in mind: "To every patient, every time, we will provide the care we would want for our own loved ones." While promoting teamwork, the program also stresses the importance of individualized education, connecting each resident with an advisor who pays meticulous attention to that resident's individual goals and needs.

A Community Hospital with Academic Affiliations

GBMC is located in a rich environment of world-class academic institutions. Its close proximity to several of the nation's most renowned academic healthcare systems allows residents to experience an intimate community setting while gaining competitive skills usually only acquired in a larger institution. Our formal affiliation is with the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Our PGY2 residents all rotate through neurology at Johns Hopkins and Cardiology Consults at Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center, and many others do research and clinical electives with faculty there. Additionally, Johns Hopkins medical students frequently rotate on our medical teams.

A Supportive Faculty and Connection to Fellowships

Our core faculty members, from various distinguished backgrounds, are unified by their commitment to teaching and their devotion to the residency program. All faculty members have open door policies, work closely with the residents and directly observe their clinical skills in order to provide useful feedback to help them grow as physicians. Promoting a strong learning experience, faculty members are also dedicated to preparing residents for highly competitive fellowship opportunities. Click here to learn more about our faculty.

Advanced Medical Technology, Electronic Health Record Systems

GBMC is on the leading edge of the utilization of healthcare information technology, from electronic health records (EHR) and patient portals to computerized provider order entry (CPOE). These advancements have enhanced patient safety as well as outcomes, allowing physicians and care providers to better track and coordinate each patient's care.

In 2016, GBMC is proud to join the EPIC family of EMRs. Medical students with experience using EPIC are particularly encouraged to apply.

Excellence in Primary Care

GBMC has fully embraced the concept of the patient-centered medical home. All of its practices, including the Internal Medicine Residency practice (referred to internally as "the clinic"), have been recognized as level 3 Physician Practice Connections-Patient-Centered Medical Homes (PPC-PCMH) by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA). This means residents practice with full support from not only their attending physicians, but also a care manager, care coordinator and nurse practitioner, allowing residents to deliver a degree of care that many others cannot.

The clinic's innovative design maximizes residents' relationship with patients while also protecting them in their inpatient duties. The Internal Medicine Residency program combines quarterly block clinics with weekly or biweekly appointments, which are filled only if a patient needs to see his or her resident. Residents only come to clinic when needed, but patients feel their physician is always accessible.

Although designated a primary care program, the leaders of the Internal Medicine Residency program believe the primary care approach trains residents in the longitudinal management skills that are critical in all specialties. For a select group of residents interested in a long-term relationship with GBMC, a special track is being created that integrates central clinic experience with an additional continuity site embedded with one of GBMC's other successful primary care practices.

GBMC is a 281-bed medical center (acute and sub-acute care) located on a beautiful suburban campus and handles more than 26,700 inpatient cases and approximately 60,000 emergency room visits annually.
